So here's the story. I built cm9 for the dream/sapphire using files from various devices, one of which is the hero. So out of boredom I built it for the heroc too. I cannot test it or confirm it works.
Info:
Cm9 code from the middle of may (android 4.0.4)
Device and vendor files from github.com/TeamICS
And... that's it.
It should hopefully boot and mostly work. Not sure about audio working. haven't done anything for the camera
http://www.mediafire.com/?je85olw5k6rj7jn - test0
thank you tvall, i hope you saw i gave you credit for the port that i did, ill try this out and let you know
---------- Post added at 08:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:32 PM ----------
from initial testing:
everything works as it should, except for camera (which you already mentioned) and no usb mass storage
with *edit* stagefright and its associated libs from eligorom or the port of cm9 i posted, we should be able to have working video playback
also ill have to retrace my steps as its been a few since i did it but the kernel i included with cm9 and eligorom has minfrees already set at boot, when i remember what i changed ill post it here
im not sure about camera, i think in /lib/hw we need the camera.msm7k.so and probably for good measure the associated libs from eligorom
thank you tvall, you are a god among men
Thank you for testing. We should work together on this (especially since I don't have a hero)
id be proud to work along side you. i have no experience with building from source or even knowing what to do with the source, but i think im pretty resourceful when it comes to tweaking and stuff like that
i did replace the stagefright lib and associated libs from eligorom and software video playback is working with quickpic. i replaced camera stuff and no go on that, but i know there is a way to fix it.
edit: an idea for you if you have the time to look at it (about camera) http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#/c/13317/ and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1624018

One of the main reasons to use the cm9 base is the fixes for msm7x27 and armv6. You'll have to port over or use the cm repos for the framework and dalvik.

I'm not sure what your errors are, but it might be easier to just change the device to armv5-te (I think its -te) instead of armv6j. I know before cm posted sources we could build the aosp with armv5 and a few fixes. Check the TEAMICS_FIXES repo and look under the old fixes you might still need them for AOSP.

The errors are related to selinux, which is weird because I built for the dream with a similar device folder without that error... I'll work on it later.
just figured i'd check in.
havnt had alot of time here lately, but hopefully here soon i will. here are the stagefright libs that allow for software playback of video files. tvall please try these out on your g1, see if it works for you. i use quickpic to play media files in ics, its the lightest player i can find.
attached stagefrightlibs below (not flashable, just a folder, push lib files with adb anybody who wants to try these)
upon looking at your kernel, i think we are going to have to go through both my eligorom kernel and your kernel and match them up, with your rom and my kernel usb mass storage pops up, but unmounts the sdcard instead of working correctly. im looking into it right now, probably a really easy fix. also alot of minfree stuff is absent in your default kernel, so we will have to figure that one out too.
when i get a chance, ill package up my kernel into a flashable zip, but for now its attached as a non flashable one for reference only.
edit: wow i said kernel 6 times lol

This is AOSP-4.0.1-R1, compiled and built for the HTC Sensation 4G (should work on the regular HTC Sensation too).
You can follow progress on Twitter.
Update (11/30/2011): We're not dead! New builds incoming soonish. For now look to the latest pages and grab stoneyjonez' build.
This is a REALLY early build - almost nothing works properly yet.
Huge props and thanks to stoneyjonez for providing and modifying the device configuration for pyramid. Also for continued help/assistance - we're basically working on this together.
This is the *development thread* - please go here for discussion and help flashing it. If you are about to tell us "X device has ICS, you should use their ROM!", put it in the god damn discussion thread. DO NOT post it here.
Credits:
- CM7.1-SELFKANG-Alphafied 10 for HTC Sensation, for providing some libs, device configuration and a clean AOSP-ish ROM
- AOSP, obviously
- stoneyjonez for device config
- Practically everyone in this thread (the SDK port for the Sensation)
- dsixda's kitchen, for making the packaging easier.
Working:
- Boots
- Displays some graphics (though they are torn diagonally and basically unusable)
- Hardware controls (volume up/down)
- TOUCHSCREEN, as of this post (Touches won't release yet, though)
Not working:
- Almost everything else
DO NOT FLASH THE RECOVERY IMAGE. We don't know what it does just yet.
Proper downloads:
test1 (AOSP, booting!): http://www.mediafire.com/?my054essk6g0le6
test3 (AOSP): http://www.mediafire.com/?8ynyror6mnkk5x1
test3.1 (AOSP kernel, rooted + busybox): http://www.mediafire.com/?e86zfv4avaxlo26
TEST3 won't boot or output to adb... cookies to anyone who can figure out why. I'm going to try and fix the touchscreen in test1, uploadable zip of test1 coming soon.

I would have hit thanks but I am limited to 5 per day lol. Can't wait for a stable release
System image with the changes is just about to finish - stay tuned for an updated build + flashable zip.

So far two directly working on it, though probably like 8 if you count everyone in the SDK port thread.
Just got the stats for how long a full build takes for me:
real 72m53.054s
user 224m22.581s
sys 11m14.934s
This is with 8GB of RAM, though I probably have to downgrade to 6GB of RAM soon (someone else needs one of my 4GB sticks )

I have picked up an old project I was working on, getting Eclair on our phones.
Now you might think, why Eclair, it is much older than Froyo and we already have Gingerbread!?
The answer is simple, just because we do not have Eclair roms for our phones
Some people here think newer is always better, but that is not always the case
Eclair is already booting, but I have some FC's and launcher does not work correctly. Neither any other things work.
I was trying to get a logcat, but could not connect using adb.
Perhaps someone else can give me a solution for enabling adb?
What did I use to get eclair booting up?
Froyo bootimage
Compiled Eclair using Froyo-libs and kernel.
If you want to take a look at it, here is a pre-pre-alpha where nothing works
It is not the latest, because I'm already solving some problems.

Non-working RIL could be caused from three things:
You missed LG services into makefiles/.rc files (if you want I can PM you some strings to add to .rc files)
Wrong libs (easy to check)
Non-prelinked libraries (define TARGET_PRELINKER_MAP (or some like that) into device_thunderg.mk and modify prelink-linux-arm-msm7xx7 or some like that with names of unlinked libs. You can see what stuff isn't prelinked with a debugging-enabled linker you can find into Swift-sense Mur4iK GT540 post. For prelink address,use google because I don't know
Would this have any actual speed benefit?

Edit: beginning with the really lame methods of getting 3.0 to run, first attempt is done I think, just copied over files, and modified some of them, nothing really special, starting compiling in 5 minutes.

This thread is no longer active. Jomeister plans to continue work on Evervolv. He will open a new thread for that purpose.
Introduction
The purpose of this thread is to coordinate work on the AOSP-based Evervolv 2.2 ROM for Skyrocket (and its sister, T989).
Skyrocket is not an officially supported ROM by Evervolv, but we have fully integrated device and vendor directories in their tree. Therefore we get fixes from the main tree and also have the ability to push fixes to Evervolv's tree. This is something we could never do when we worked directly off the Code Aurora source.
Our desire is to give the dev community a single codebase to coalesce around. Hopefully, with more devs working on the same project, we can progress faster towards AOSP.
To build, follow the instructions here (choose ev_skyrocket-eng at the lunch menu):
https://github.com/Evervolv/android
Or, the short, short version:
Run "repo status" and make sure you have no local mods.
Run "repo sync" and make sure it completes without error.
Run "rm -rf out" to remove any old compiled stuff
Run ". build/envsetup.sh" to set up your environment
Run "lunch ev_skyrocket-eng" to select the target
Run "make -j4 otapackage" (adjust -j option to match your # of processors)
What works:
2D/3D graphics, hw accel of gui, bluetooth, gps, nfc, wifi, sdcard (int+ext), MTP/PTP over USB
What doesn't work:
audio, calls, camera, cell data, sms, anything else you can think of
Issues are being managed on Github:
https://github.com/Evervolv/android_device_samsung_skyrocket/issues
Want a ROM link?
Then follow the instructions to build a ROM! The point, at this time, is to get devs involved in the process. The ROM is not ready for anyone to try out or use at this point. There are many problems left to solve.
Want to help?
Are you a dev with a Skyrocket and a burning desire to get AOSP for your phone? Please, check out Evervolv and start debugging! The Github Issues link above is a great starting point.
Jomeister and RaverX3X graciously agreed to join forces here. We hope other devs join too!

No stupid questions here. A fully compiled ROM like the ICS leak obscures a lot of the details about how to build the ROM from scratch. You have to reverse engineer a lot of what Samsung did to compile AOSP, plus how to avoid pulling in too much Samsung bloat code. Hope that helps.
more or less were going to keep as much samsung out of it as we possibly can . Yes u can kang in stuff from the leak but then that actually causes more issues in the long run then doing it right the first time ;P.

I think we as a community should still continue working on things such as CM9 and AOKP in addition to Evervolv, just to give people as many options as possible. The good thing that Evervolv device trees are very similar to those required by CM9 and AOKP, so with a few hacks here and there I'm sure we can get those building as well. I don't know about the other devs, but I definitely have enough time to collaborate on multiple projects, as long as I'm not the sole carrier.
ur killing me. I finally managed to get media server to stay up for msm8660 audio pulled from the leak with jos isotope a4 with some other libs and bins. acdb pulling audio policy was still a problem though.
This is definitely for the better though. I was uncomfortable with all those Samsung libs bins and blobs, especially after staring at them under IDA. like raver said it woulda been a nightmare later on.
This is great though, everyone on the same pile should make this go a lot faster.
im very excited for this.

Here is the system image from MY SGS 3, I thought one of our other devs might want to turn this into a ROM. I would do it, but I am a little swamped at the moment with after hours android dev work.
If someone has not taken a stab at it by the time I am back in here more "permanently", I will make my attempt at porting it over. You will need to grab a script that they use for CM, to grab the files off of your phone, also here is a good reference on porting as well.

I might take it on (you know me, that means I will try and fail and leave it dead most likely), but how the hell will we even get it to boot without at least an ics kernel? will we just have to wait until we get the update?
EDIT: i assume the gs3 is GSM correct?

Try kexec, That is how the cyanogenmod team is "dual booting" for testing roms... who cares if it is just one proc for a test boot.... Once you can POC it with a 2.3.6 kernel, then you know you are on the right track, and can do a test flash. The only real issue you might have is that the source seems incomplete to me.
I know this because I tried to compile it and had all kinds of issues with missing pieces. I have successfully compiled two kernels that I am testing on my SGS 3 at the moment (one overclocked, the other under volted).
Just make sure you go and grab the arm-abi tool kit, this is the one I use, from
codesourcery:

All you need is the light version. It might take some work, but you may be able to merge the ICS kernel code (it is posted as a sticky higher up ^^^) with the MB/ME865 kernel to get what is missing. There are some how-tos out there to do it.
Yes the AT&T version is GSM(HSPA+)<E
Can you post the built in apps of sgs3 eg: s voice.

It is in the system.img file I posted.... just mount it as an iso and you can pull out /system/app and grab the Svoice.apk from there.

I'll pull them out for you later today, I am about to tear this apart. it is downloading crazy slow though. I'm on an island in Vermont, so as you might imagine, my internet is not fantastic.

Am I right that is SHOULD boot on a stock ICS kernel, like what came from that leak, if so, I can have someone that is running that test it out, and make sure the system is right, then I can build a kernel to run with kexec until we can get a real update.
I am new to porting and sort of to kernel building so tell me if this process sounds right for this.
1. fix up the gs3 system with our proprietary files -thats easy, I know how to do that
2. have someone that is running an ics kernel test it if possible
3. if that works it means I just need a stock ics kernel to run in kexec, which shouldn't be too hard because we should be able to use the me865 source and modify it to work with mb865. If it does not work, kernel building starts from scratch, which is were I will have to do some more research, and any help from you or others would be helpful.
My other question is how do we even load the new kernel with kexec? wouldn't we need this to boot first, then we can swap the kernel? Or is there a way to load up both at the same time?
I think I will set up a WIP thread for this if you don't mind. feel free to PM me if you don't want to post stuff here.
Thank you so much for all your help, and have fun with your new toy

Yeah I think that is a good start. Take a look at this link, the guys from team epic that do cyanogenmod ports have come up with a way to use kexec to test booting thier kernel and roms. You might PM one of them, I have not gotten to that point yet, plus these guys are working on the Sprint version, of the SGS3, but I am sure they can explain how they are doing this with kexec. These guys are on XDA, I have chatted with them on a couple issues I was having.

Oh, P.S.
Here is how to compile the "stock MB/ME865" kernel:
1. How to Build
- get Toolchain
From android git server , codesourcery and etc ..
- arm-eabi-4.4.3
- edit Makefile
edit "CROSS_COMPILE" to right toolchain path(You downloaded).
EX) CROSS_COMPILE= $(android platform directory you download)/android/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.3/bin/arm-eabi-
Ex) CROSS_COMPILE=/usr/local/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.3/bin/arm-eabi- // check the location of toolchain
$ export ARCH=arm
$ make m2_att_defconfig
$ make
2. Output files
- Kernel : arch/arm/boot/zImage
- module : drivers/*/*.ko
3. How to Clean
$ make clean
Just make sure the toolkit is pointed to the install of the codesourcery toolkit I linked in the above post.
P.P.S
Your defconfig might be another pointer name, that you will have to find out for sure. You know the one above called m2_att_defconfig.
For the beginners don't try the rom,you might kill your phone!
I'd like to give this a try as well . Thanks a lot for all the help!
If/when we get this to work, do you think a JB port won't be too far behind? How big are the differences between stock ICS and JB kernels?

Glad to see you back around here, but lets not even give anything towards JB until we get ICS. if you are interested in helping with that, send me a PM, I have made some progress with cm9 (as in it boots fine, and i have some ideas for the radio).

ICS to JB is going to be a much smaller kernel jump, but there will be a HUGE performance increase due to project butter which is now officially part of Jelly Bean.
The key to running something like this is to get a kernel compiled and running with kexec, even though it is just 1 proc, it is a good way to get started. Ports will be much easier if you do some merging of the changed code in newer kernels and do merged kernel. There are instructions for doing a kernel that is merged from 2 sources to get a complete kernel.
Now this will just work for testing and porting, and the actual ICS or JB install from at least a leak will be needed to actually run the port, but you can get ahead of the game by doing what I have mentioned.
Well going to give this a go in a few days doing some maintenance on my computer but will get back with something (hope not a bricked phone) .....
(off topic ranting)
Hate to say it at this rate what getting close to a year since Ics release Jb might just be a pipe dream..... Think I am growing grey hairs waiting for something to give here..... Without bootloader unlock I feel so useless (Yea I could make a recovery image with all the bells and whistles but I got bigger plans).....
Downloaded so I could tinker with some files. Thanks for sharing.

Lol. Just my luck for the dropbox account to be temporarily shut down when my download's on 99%.
Well I guess I'll just sit here and wait. Unless anyone wants to be so kindly awesome enough to mirror it?

sure, no problem, give me a bit, my internet is slower than hell where I am right now.
EDIT: of course I didn't add it to dropbox originally, so now it is uploading to google drive. It just hit 1%

Yeah I got the dreaded e-mail from dropbox last night....
I will see what I can come up with for a hosting solution for this. I will update the OP once I have something.

I uploaded it to my Drive right away after downloading - try this for SGSIII ICS: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B-CZ8hXV8qOiVGtjOHZ3ZEg5eFU
P.S. - I also have a JB dump there, if anyone's interested: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B-CZ8hXV8qOiSkc3QkE1Y0ZsRkU

I am actually trying to get my recognized developer cert on here and get free premium access to xdafilehost, that all the recognized devs get access to.
We will see if I get it or not. If not I have other options, but things like filedropper will not do, I already looked into it
